Bug Description

The kde4 plugin path should be hardcoded in Qt instead of relying on the libraryPath setting in /etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf which can be overridden by ~/.config/trolltech.conf.

The order in QCoreApplication::libraryPath() is important if there are multiple KDE versions installed (see https://bugs.kde.org/267770).
It should be:
1) QT_PLUGIN_PATH env variable
2) path added by kdelibs (KComponentDataPrivate::lazyInit())
3) hardcoded /usr/lib/kde4/plugins

Fedora has a patch that adds the kde4 plugin path but afaik switches 2) and 3):
